Not every NVMEM has predefined cells at hardcoded addresses. Some
devices store cells in internal structs and custom formats. Referencing
such cells is still required to let other bindings use them.

Modify binding to require "reg" xor "label". The later one can be used
to match "dynamic" NVMEM cells by their names.

'label' is supposed to correspond to a sticker on a port or something
human identifiable. It generally should be something optional to
making the OS functional. Yes, there are already some abuses of that,
but this case is too far for me.

Good to learn that!

"name" is special & not allowed I think.

Any suggestion what to use? I'm not native. What about "title"? Or maybe
"term", "entity", "tag"?
